HONDA FINALLY DELIVERS SOMETHING THAT STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD WITH THEIR REINVENTED PRELUDE
-
SPORTY SILHOUETTE: Honda Prelude Advance Hybrid
HONDA used to be an innovative brand but in recent years the Japanese marque has lost its way, producing sturdy, sensible, yet forgettable cars.
To shake things up, out of nowhere it has decided to shine light on one of its most iconic nameplates and returned to the niche world of two-door coupes with the Prelude.
After 25 years it is back, and has big boots to fill if it wants to compete with the BMW 2 Series.
It appears to be brand new, but below the surface you'll find the same underpinnings as the Honda Civic. For the first time the Prelude comes as standard with a hybrid powertrain, Honda's new S+Shift simulated gearbox and dual-axis strut suspension.
The Prelude shares the same hybrid powertrain as the Civic hatchback, which is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired to an electric motor.
